What color is Benjamin Moore Queen's Wreath?
Benjamin Moore Queen's Wreath 1426 is a muted blue-violet gray with a cool, lightly smoky cast. Its medium depth gives walls noticeable color without the intensity of a clear periwinkle or navy. In north-facing rooms, Queen's Wreath can read more blue and shadowed, while warmer daylight may bring forward its soft lavender undertone. Use it in a bedroom, study, or powder room with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft gray textiles. It also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or an accent wall beside warmer taupe, mushroom, or muted blush accents.

LRV of Queen's Wreath
Queen's Wreath has an LRV of 23.8% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 23.8%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
